Help me decide house options

50ftx130ft lot, 3500 sqf, 5 bdrm, 4.5 bathroom, 2 car garage home (2 doors, 3 car tandem garage) - 1.4 mils
60ftx160ft lot, 4100 sqf, 5bdrm, 5.5 bathroom, 3 car garage (L shaped 3 doors), walk out basement - 1.8 mils

Price difference is significant I like the layouts for both just not sure which one to go with.

Not an investment home but will likely to sell in 5-10 years time anyways.

I got 3 (one per floor) in my 5bdrm and I think that is plenty. Given that there is 400k between the two with the number of bedrooms being equal, personally, I do not think that the bigger lot justifies that extra 400k unless it has fewer neighbouring lots.

Both homes are 2 levels (expensive one has walkout basement but still fully above ground only 2 levels). Bathrooms are standard. Expensive one just has bathroom in each bedroom, so every single bedroom has an ensuite plus a powder room on main floor, that is how it gets to 5.5. The cheaper home has one jack and jill between two bedrooms that is why the total bathrooms are 4.5. TBH I think this is somewhat standard these days for builders.
